Answer 1

I would not try to reinvent the wheel, to build your own GPS tracking device and have it function with GPRS may not be as easy as you think.

You can buy one at Auto Nav 2000 Plus, Inc for $599 and save you the time and energy to come up with all the pieces you will need including buying ONE SiRF III GPS receiver and having a software that will work with your hardware.

If you only need a for a few days or week, you can rent  a tracking system from GPS4Rent http://www.gps4rent.com/
